1. If (3/4 - 2/3) + (1/2 + 1/3) is calculated and the answer reduced to simplest terms, what is the denominator of the resulting fraction?
\n" ); document.write( "Simplifying the problem:
\n" ); document.write( "(9-8)/12 + (5/6)
\n" ); document.write( "= 1/12 + 10/12
\n" ); document.write( "= 11/12
\n" ); document.write( "Denominator is 12
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "2. 1/2 + (2/3 divided 3/4) - (4/5 x 5/6)= ?
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2) + (2/3)(5/3) - (4/6) = ?
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2) + (10/9) - (2/3) = ?
\n" ); document.write( "(9/18) + (20/18) - (12/18) = ?
\n" ); document.write( "17/18
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "3. If the total cost of x apples is b cents, what is a general formula for the cost, in cents, of y apples?
\n" ); document.write( "If x apples costs b cents, each apple = b/x cents
\n" ); document.write( "Then y apples will cost y(b/x) cents
\n" ); document.write( "==============
